We are back in Wellfleet for the week. We are staying at a kind of crazy house that used to be a camp for girls at the turn of the century. The building that we are in is the only remaining structure, and it used to be the camp counselors' dorm. It's been updated and expanded over the years, but still has some of the original stuff from the camp, which I'll show at some point.
The house is filled with books, and has a cookbook shelf. Here's a picture of that:
I own three of these at home: Fish Without a Doubt (very good), Food and Wine Pasta (have not cooked out of it for years, but their tomato sauces used to be my go to recipes) and the Enchanted Broccoli Forest (I have not cooked anything from it since college, but still have it for sentimental reasons)
Here is a menu on the wall of the kitchen. I think that the american cheese and peanut butter sandwich on offer here is one of the worst ideas I have ever heard of.
We had dinner last night at Mac's Shack, our traditional start to every visit to Wellfleet. Halibut turadito
Jalepeno yellowtail sashimi
Spicy tuna mango martini
My sister, niece and husband got sushi for dinner. Toro poke bowl
Big kahuna roll
Maki special. The outside was toro with roasted pineapple, and the inside was hamachi, avocado and cucumber. They got two of these rolls.
My nephew tried a piece of the yellowtail and a maki roll but they were not his favorites, so he got some Mexican street corn to start.
Then he ordered clams and mussels on sun dried tomato pesto fettuccine. It turns out that he is not a fan of mussels, but he did enjoy the clams.
I had salmon with a poblano cream sauce, corn pudding and tomatillo corn salsa. This was really good. my husband filched some.
After dinner we went for ice cream. The line was very long!
This morning my sister, niece and I got up and walked in to town for the 4th of July parade. We stopped by Winslow's Tavern for some coffee and yogurt-granola parfaits
Some parade pictures
What is great after a parade? Gelato!
My niece opted for an affogato (no picture). My sister and I got raspberry and coffee
We have dinner reservations in Provincetown this evening. Parking is going to be a challenge, so we will see if we actually get to eat there!
